Gorgeous Hussy, The
The sassy daughter of a local innkeeper, Peggy OâNeill (Joan Crawford) uses her smarts and good looks â not to mention her close personal friendship with President Andrew Jackson (Lionel Barrymore) â to make a scandalous impression on Washingtonâs power elite in this lavish adaptation of Samuel Hopkins Adamsâ bestselling novel. Co-starring a legendary leading man lineup (Robert Taylor, Franchot Tone, Melvyn Douglas and James Stewart), The Gorgeous Hussy earned two 1936 OscarÂ® nominations (Best Cinematography and Supporting Actress Beulah Bondi as the First Lady) and marked Crawfordâs sole sound-era appearance in a costume period piece. Barrymore would reprise his Jackson role in 1952âs Lone Star, a Clark Gable Western that was also the veteran actorâs final screen performance.
